Incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is measureless,
who is of the nature of pure Consciousness and bliss, who is the
consort of
Sita, Master of Sri Hanuman, and the Lord of the three worlds, who took
His
birth at His own will in order to establish righteousness, destroy the
wicked
and protect His devotees."<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>"Let Sri Rama be your ideal. Ideals are remembered and adored
for the purpose
of adopting them in your own life. The Ramnavami celebration or the
Vasanta
Navaratri every year is an opportune period for us to saturate
ourselves with
the spirit of Lord Rama. We love and adore our ideals because we
express thereby
our yearning to unite with them. In our worship of God it is implied
that we
should be virtuous, good and perfect even as God is. Hence the wise
instruction:
"One should become divine in order to be able to worship God". One
cannot be a real worshipper of Lord Rama unless one makes an honest
attempt to
grow in the virtues that the Lord represents. On the other hand,
worship of Lord
Rama is itself the surest means to develop such virtues."- Swami

(Hearing, Listening)</b></p>
<p><img alt="" src="cid:part4.01060109.08020709@divyajivan.org"
align="left" height="185" width="139">....... Listening is for
renewal. <i>Sravana </i>(listening to scriptures) is for rebirth. <i>Sravana
</i>is for steady forward movement towards the Goal. <i>Sravana </i>is
for stage by stage, higher and higher ascent unto illumination and
enlightenment. Receiving them, we are also ultimately meant to reach
that self-same state of experience from which these truths were
declared, shared and given in the ancient past by all the illumined,
perfected sages.</p>
<p>Through the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana,
Panchadasi many truths are given. We hear them not merely to pass a
little time in <i>satsang</i>,<i> </i>but to receive, cherish,
reflect upon, and to grow in our own
inner state of consciousness, to acquire more and more <i>jnana</i>,<i>
</i>so that gradually our interior is more and more illumined.
That is our prayer: “<i>dhiyo yo nah prachodayat</i>—Illumine our inner
being, may darkness vanish and light prevail.” </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Thus, day after
day, as we listen to each discourse, we cannot deny that at least one
gem of truth, one revealing truth, a fact of life, is sure to be
obtained if we listen with attention. Each occasion is an occasion for
ceaseless onward progress—continuous inward ascent unto ever higher
states of consciousness, understanding and wisdom—to liberate ourselves
from all that we desire to liberate ourselves from, to attain all that
we desire to attain which we now feel is perhaps not attained.- Swami

"Prayer doesn't mean that something should be asked for. Prayer is a
bridge connecting God and ourselves. It means the expression of our
internal feelings. Prayer makes the heart generous. Prayer creates the
environment of peace, love, compassion and forgiveness in the universe.
There is an immense energy in the prayer. It develops mental power. It
increases the spiritual power. Prayer energizes the vitality of the
mind and increases the Will power during unbearable and unexpected
circumstances." - Swami Adhyatmananda</p>
